Hello, I'm switching from Dionelle combined tablets to Slinda single-component tablets. Will everything be okay if I have finished the Dionelle pack, I am taking a 7-day break and after that I will start the Slinda pack? In addition, I got the days wrong and took 22 active dionelle tablets (I thought I lost the pill and took the pill from the emergency pack), can I take a 6-day break and start Slinda after that?

Yes, you can start taking Slinda after a 6-day break. According to the manufacturer's information, the first Slinda tablet should be taken no later than the day after the end of the 7-day break in Dionelle. However, please remember that you will then need to use an additional, barrier method of contraception (e.g. a condom) for the first 7 days of taking Slinda. You can also try another solution, i.e. start taking Slinda the day after taking your last active Dionelle tablet. In this case, contraceptive protection will remain maintained and there will be no need to use additional contraceptive methods.
